As expected, the characters of the FL/ML are different from the novel. In this filmed version, the ML is less…
There are no officials in the Chinese imperial state model who AREN'T corrupt by modern standards. And they're all assholes who torture people, perpetrate social injustice and enrich themselves off the backs of peasants through trade monopolies, bribes and land tenure. If I have to watch stories about people like that, I don't want them to be ruthless murderers on top of everything else.
I'm loving all the babies raging that Uk and Buyeon are falling in love before they know she's Naksu after those people all claimed the drama would resolve the amnesia plot immediately lmao. Like, it was obvious from THE FIRST EPISODE that what the Hong sisters are going for in this season is the idea of fated lovers ending up together even when they can't recognise each other and the whole world is conspiring to keep them apart. OF COURSE they're gonna confirm each other's feelings before they confirm Buyeon's real identity because their love is the more important of the two. In other words, they're not gonna reveal Buyeon's identity as Naksu until Uk chooses Buyeon over Naksu, sorry.
Also the amnesia device is a vehicle for Uk's angst and resistance to the pull of true love, which is, again, pretty much a staple romantic trope in this kind of story.
I'm not even gonna address all the nonsense about him cheating on a dead woman because that's crazy talk.
So. This is my personal opinion about Jang UK’s and Yeong/Buyeon’s story line. I would’ve liked to see Jang…
I think it's pretty obvious they're setting up Uk and Buyeon/Naksu's relationship BEFORE revealing her identity. So we'll probably see some of what you're talking about. The issue is that this season is only 10 episodes long and there's politics and stuff to cover, so they'll have to rush through the romantic storyline.
I liked yunok in part 1. She was a woman of dignity and always knew to respect people and boundaries. Today she…
I also found her intervention really annoying (and yes, they made her that way for the plot; although I never liked her in S1, she was more respectful of Uk's boundaries) and can't wait to see her put in her place, but I can also see why she would be more hostile to Buyeon than to Mudeok. After all, Uk and Mudeok liked each other first, so she felt like an intruder in their relationship, but from her perspective Buyeon is a random hanger-on and she 'deserves' Uk more because she's liked him longer. (She almost says this word for word.)
A very immature contribution to today's episode and I hope she won't take up too much screen time with this nonsense.
Man, I just want Buyeon and Uk to have more scenes together because they're hilarious. But it looks like the pace is ramping up and episode 4 will be all about hunting for a fake Naksu, Buyeon being in danger (of getting body-harvested by the insane queen?) and Uk playing politics and thinking about his dead lover. I hope they'll fit in some relationship development for our leads in between all that.
She could have chosen to say anything else and insted she went "it seems we have liked each others for a long…
I'm pretty sure that line is misleading and she didn't remember her identity as Naksu. She must have remembered *something*, but without additional information she misinterpreted it. The fact she was a fearsome soul-shifting assassin in a previous life, survived a near-death experience in secret and her identity is a lie constructed by Lady Jin is not an obvious leap to make.
Haemi has got to be a massive drag on company productivity at this point. All she does all day long is bully one subordinate, sexually harass another and eavesdrop on private conversations. She's absolutely not in the office to work.
If TS Retail was run like a real company and not like a feudal castle where everything is based on family ties and nepotism, she would have been fired a long time ago.
Only 2 episodes are finished but the Chemistry between main lead is insane and fresh . I didn’t feel this way…
Yeah, I enjoyed a lot of stuff in S1, but the romance itself didn't really move me. But in S2 it's much more thrilling IMO. The main leads' interactions are charged with more tension now.

I’m not calling her ugly or a hag. She’s a beautiful young woman. She’s just not the right age for this role.

Yes, he clearly does lol. You're writing fanfiction in your head.

Wang Yang is in it? I'm EVEN MORE IN. This guy is such a good actor. Especially compelling in morally ambiguous/villainous roles.
